ENJOY THE CONVENIENCE OF YOUR FILENE CHARGE BSO A Record-Breaking 1983 BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon!! The 1983 BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon, which took place Friday, 11 March, Saturday, 12 March, and Sunday, 13 March, raised a total of $337,852 for the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops—the highest amount ever raised in the thirteen years the Marathon has been held. The total figure represented a twenty percent increase over the $279,918 raised last year and far exceeded this year's goal of $300,000. The Marathon's highest premium—$50,000 for an evening performance by the Boston Pops under the direction of Conductor John Williams—was bought by the Met Center in Boston. This news was announced by Mary Louise Cabot, Chairman of the Special Events Committee and a Trustee of the Met Center, and by Joseph M. Hobbs, President of the Met Center, during the special Marathon telecast broadcast by WCVB- TV-Channel 5 on Sunday evening, 13 March. This was the first time this premium has been sold, and the Pops will present a special benefit at the Met Center sometime next fall. Marathon co-chairmen Jane Sanger and Janice Hunt expressed their appreciation to the hundreds of volunteers who helped make this year's Marathon such a resounding success. "We're so very grateful for the generous support of everyone who made pledges to the Marathon. And the Marathon would not be possible without the tireless effort of more than six hundred volunteers who donated many months to make this year's Marathon the most successful ever," said Ms. Sanger. Echoing this sentiment, Janice Hunt also thanked Richard L. Kaye and the entire staff of WCRB for their many months of preparation and inspirational ideas. "WCRB makes the Musical Marathon possible," she said. 1983-84 BSO Subscription Information Information about the Boston Symphony Orchestra's 1983-84 subscription season will be available within the next few weeks.
